A flipped French class

I believe flipping my classroom will enhance the students learning. It will give them a resource to use outside of the classroom to help them study vocabulary, learn grammar points and review at any time. I know I can save a lot of class time if I can get the students familiar with concepts before they come into the classroom. Then we will have more time to practice the concepts and apply them to real-life situations. I am certain it will be a real struggle to get my students to watch the videos at home. I will have to make it as easy as possible for them to access it. I'm excited to see what the outcome is from my first video.

Flipping my classroom, I can see many benefits. Yesterday I introduced One Point Perspective to my Art I. Instead of the students spending class time looking up vocabulary for the unit they could have watch a video of me introducing Middle Ages, Castle life then define the vocabulary at home. They would turn in their journals the following day. I could have started them on their drawings in class.
There are many circumstances where I could use this approach. I have used video of certain procedures of lessons for students to re-reach themselves at their leisure.

New journal article on Flipping in Science

Just saw this shared on Schoology.  Thought I'd pass it along.

Physics-1 dimensional motion/kinematics unit link

Hello, the following is a link to the website for my entire physics 1, it can also be accessed on schooltube.com.  You will tell it you want point pleasant high school, then you can type in "marcum motion" and all of the videos are on schooltube.com. The weebly access is marcum-physics.weebly.com. Motion is typically the first unit.  Enjoy.

Flipped Classroom

I recently attended a attended a conference for incoming Special Education TIS's this week.  During our introductions I spoke about the Flipped Classroom and how it is being used in the classrooms.   It caught a lot of interest from a lot of people and it seemed like I was answering questions about the Flipped Classroom all week.  I am going to write a small article for the TIS and THAT newsletter in August.  If anyone has any input they would like to see in the newsletter let me know.  I enjoyed seeing Flipped Classroom becoming a more casual term from other teachers across the state.

Quizizz

I found what seems to be a "knock off" of Kahoot.  The reason I am mentioning it is that it seems to allow students to see the question on their device, which Kahoot does not.  I like Kahoot the most, however, I think this could be something kids could play at home as a review if that is something you might be interested in.

Flipping with Pedigrees & Karyotypes

Upon entering this class I have been performing a flipped lesson for past several years on pedigrees and karyotypes. The goal for the students is to learn how do read pedigrees and karyotypes and be able to create or analyze information related to pedigrees and karyotypes. Below I describe the lesson and provide documents that you can use to adapt for your classroom use.

Lesson Outline:

• Use the following sites for student to take notes about pedigrees and karyotypes. Pedigree & Karyotype Notes
• Pedigree: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/pi/
• Karyotype: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/chromosomes/ (use the three pages located under karyotype title)
• Pedigree Activities & Labs
• Pedigree Investigator
• What's your family health story
• Karyotype Activities & Labs
•  Making Karyotypes
• Genetic Disorders
• Genetic Disorder Project

This is a lesson I did for my kids

Snagit (TechSmith extension for Google Chrome)

I just found this and don't know if anyone else has seen/messed with it any.  It is an extension for Google Chrome from the folks at TechSmith (they make Camtasia).  Anyway, this is a free extension that will allow you to capture the screen and microphone if you add it to Chrome.  It is free and I'm reading some pretty good reviews from those more experienced than I.  I will say if it is from TechSmith it is likely to be pretty good as I am kind of a fanboy of theirs.

Thought I'd add yet another tool to our ever expanding utility belt.
